The Washington Post did the first polling of Katrina survivors I'd seen. They interviewed displaced New Orleans residents who had been moved to a Houston shelter, and while the whole poll has interesting facts in it -- including that 61% say that the experience had made them feel that "governement didn't care for people like them" -- the thing that suprised me was that 81% said that the experience had "strengthened their religious faith" and over 80% said they were "hopeful" and "grateful."
